6th Grade Integer Timeline Project



6+ - Unit 5 -Integer Timeline Project

 

What is this project?

You will be creating a timeline that uses events from both before and after your birth. You will be labeling them with years as well as integers.

What do I need to do to receive the most points possible?

• Find 5 significant events from around the world that occurred prior to your birth. Since these events happened before you were born, they will be your negative events. On the number line, you need to label the year and location that they happened and a number that corresponds to the year.

• Find 5 events that have happened since your birth. Since these events happened after you were born, they will be your positive events. On the number line, you need to label the year and location that they happened and a number that corresponds to the year.

• For each of the 10 events, you need to include a 3-5 sentence summary explaining the significance of the event.

• Include your birth on your timeline. This will be the zero on your timeline. Please label it with a “0” as well as the year and location.

How do I figure out what number corresponds to the year?

• To figure out which number to assign to the year, start at your birth, “0”. If you were born in 1998, that would be your “0”. If something happened in 1995, that was 3 years BEFORE you were born, so it should have a (–3). If something happened in 2000, that was 2 years after you were born, so it should be a (+2).

How should my timeline look?

• Your timeline should be very neat. I will NOT accept a piece of notebook paper turned in with pencil writing. Put some time into this please. Some students have included images relating to the events. This makes it look very nice!!!

• Remember that this is a number line, therefore, you should have a line for every number. You need only to plot the numbers for which you have corresponding events and years. Be sure to make your intervals are equal!

• The timeline needs to be on poster board paper.

How much is this project worth?

This project will be worth a total of 42 points on my rubric and will count as a Major Assessment.
